Powerbar 6/10
The SteinMusic High-End Powerbar is available with 6 or 10 sockets. Tight sandwich housing made of a special compound with a carbon composite inner layer that is earthed for shielding and eliminates electrostatic charge.
In addition, we have implemented our InLine technology in every single socket
We found that to get the best possible performance it is essential to take great care of the smallest detail. This means not doing anything because it has always been done that way, but gain an understanding about the sonic implications of widely used techniques and materials.
With this knowledge and by the use of proprietary unique solutions, we have the skills to build balanced components which do not show their character, but are totally on duty getting you closer to the music.
Capacitors in the mains are widely used to get rid of noise. Capacitors are highly nonlinear and their dielectric losses suck out finesse and detail from the music. If you are using a standard audio system, this may smooth out the sound and make listening more enjoyable. However, with good audio you will not want to miss the loss of fine detail.
You get the same effects with inductors due to their core loss and dynamic limitations.

Robert H. Levi – Positive Feedback
“The Powerbar 10 Signature is the most effective, elegant and sophisticated passive power distribution device I have ever seen or auditioned. It is beautiful, it easily accommodates ten components of any power requirements with the biggest plugs, has an end-mounted AC input connector for convenient wall connection, and is made of multiple layers of materials each layer grounded in a proprietary way for optimum quiet.”

Additional Informations
CONNECTORS
All connectors are custom made to our specifications, so that we may ensure a perfect sound and long term stability. For the contacts we choose a partly rhodium plating, which in combination of the whole concept gave us some more finesse and detail than a gold plated version.
WIRING
The internal wiring is made of the purest copper throughout. All outlets are star wired to a central point and the orientation of each cable is chosen for the correct directivity.
MECHANICS
The Powerbar devices are built very compact and rigid with a three layer CNC machined composite housing. The outer layers are made of a special fiber board, where the dominant medium layer is a proprietary carbon composite compound. This construction is extremely stable and warp resistant. In addition, the carbon composite compound is grounded to avoid electrostatic charge.
The CNC machined aluminum top plate, which carries the outlets, is a thoroughly large area mounted on the base housing to avoid unwanted resonance. The feet are massive walnut feet, a choice we made after extensive listening of a wide amount of different other solutions.
SPECIALS
The star grounding connection is really one central point where all conductors are connected by our InLine technology. The vectors of the magnetic fields which are generated while a current is flowing through a conductor are completely random, which means the sum is zero. This avoids magnetic distortion, resulting in a much more differentiated sound. At this critical point, we also apply a small amount of our proprietary quantum solution. To protect this critical part and mechanically quiet it down, we seal it in a specially filled epoxy resin. All wires and connectors are demagnetized. In addition to this, they undergo another proprietary treatment which significantly increases the movability of free electrons in all metal parts. This is done in a very complex process we call plasma treatment.
The SteinMusic Powerbars are available with 6 or 10 outlets.
